Shopkeeper Zhu was stunned. "Boss? You? Little girl?"
Kang Yueran smiled and said, "Yes, my family sells snacks. I came across the recipe for this mint cream by chance. After trying it, I was pleasantly surprised. So I made it and started selling it. I'm sure it will sell well."
"How much do you plan to sell this mint cream to me?"
"Mint isn't worth much, but these porcelain bottles and the oil used were shipped from the south. How about I give Manager Zhu a hundred coins for each bottle?"
Shopkeeper Zhu looked at the porcelain vase again and again. The price of the vase, plus the shipping cost from south to north, was not high at all. "Can you go any lower?"
"It's a flat rate! I live outside the city, and I come to the city every three days to deliver goods. The entrance fee is five taels of silver per person. It really can't be any lower."
Shopkeeper Zhu was a person who would not suffer any loss. She raised her eyebrows and said, "One hundred coins is fine. Give me some of your lip balm." She had been eyeing the lip balm for a long time.
Kang Yueran wiped her hands with a handkerchief, dabbed a little lip balm on her lips with her little finger, and pursed her lips to coat them. "Look, aren't my lips moist and shiny?" She should have said, "They're quite oily."
This is much better than lipstick paper. Shopkeeper Zhu picked it up and smelled it. It smelled very good, but she couldn't tell what spices were added. "How much of this lip balm do you have? How much is it?"
"There are over 600 bottles now, 500 wen each."
Shopkeeper Zhu bit his lip, lowered his head, and thought for a moment before saying, "I want all your lip balm. If you make more in the future, just send it to my shop. I won't bargain with you for even five hundred coins."
It didn't matter who she was selling it to, Kang Yueran readily agreed. "Okay! What about the mint cream?"
Shopkeeper Zhu's attention was focused on the lip balm. "Leave a hundred bottles for me. I'll try to sell them first. I need to sign an agreement with you to sell the lip balm only to me."
"Sure! If I sell it to someone else I'll compensate you, but if you don't want to buy it, I can't just quit, right?"
Shopkeeper Zhu gritted his teeth again and said, "Leave me your address and I'll send someone to pick it up every seven days."
Kang Yueran smiled and said, "I don't think you might be willing to go."
"Why? So far?"
"Because I live in Qingping Mountain!"
Shopkeeper Zhu dropped the lip balm in his hand onto the table and pointed at Kang Yueran. "You, you are, you are the bandit from Qingping Mountain?"
Kang Yueran did not deny it, "That's both right and wrong. I do live in Qingping Village, but now Qingping Village has been renamed Qingping Village. We will not kill or rob people, nor will we collect tolls.
We make snacks, dried meat, mint cream, lip balm, and there will be other things in the future. In short, there will be no more bandits in Qingping Village, only the boss and his servants. "
Shopkeeper Zhu looked deeply shocked, and Kang Yueran continued, "I'm here to do business with you. I provide the goods, and you pay me the money. No one is taking advantage of the other.
As for the agreement you mentioned, I think it's okay to sign it. If I sell it to someone else, I will compensate you with three hundred taels of silver. If you don't want to buy it, you must inform me at least one month in advance. Do you think it's okay?"
Just looking at the content of the agreement, Manager Zhu was also satisfied. In addition, given his reputation as a bandit, how could Manager Zhu dare to say no? The two parties quickly signed the contract.
Shopkeeper Zhu also consciously promised Kang Yueran that he would never reveal her identity as a bandit to anyone.
Kang Yueran smiled and thanked him. The people were still afraid of Qing Pingshan, and she was also afraid that if the people knew about it, she would not be able to sell her things.
People's understanding of mint is still limited to preventing and treating mosquitoes. Fortunately, mint ointment is very cheap, so it sells well.
In the evening, Kang Yueran wrote down the shops, addresses, shopkeepers' names, and order quantities of the orders placed in the past two days and handed them to Niu Dayan.
Niu Dayan has been learning characters recently. He is smart and hardworking, and he knows quite a few characters.
After returning to the mountain village, Kang Yueran went back to rest, and Niu Dayan took the records to find Xu Jiushi. The two discussed how to carry the most goods with the least number of people.
Knowing that the goods have found a buyer, everyone works harder.
The disaster victims in the mountain village who were also working hard were also building houses.
Early in the morning, victims came from all directions.
As usual, Wang Dali lined up at the village entrance, went to the first table, and reported his name. The steward would mark his name to prove that he had worked that day.
After reporting his name, he walked about ten steps forward and there was a table. The steward would hand him a white flour bun, which was his breakfast.
He finished eating the steamed bun while walking towards his work place.
There is a steward watching over everyone no matter what they do. The stewards don't beat or scold them, but they also supervise them and don't allow them to be lazy.
If you are thirsty, you can go to a rest area, sit down and rest for a while and drink some mung bean soup. Salt is added to the mung bean soup to prevent heatstroke.
Wang Dali's job is to pull bricks. He pulls a cart of bricks from the brick kiln to the place where the house is being built. As soon as the cart stops, two people start unloading the bricks on the left and right. While unloading the bricks, Wang Dali can take a short break.
At noon, when the gong sounded, everyone put down their work and went to the rest area to eat.
After lining up, everyone can receive a small ceramic bowl with vegetables at the bottom and two large white flour buns on top. Someone will hand over a pair of chopsticks.
After receiving the meal, you can find a place to sit down and eat, and finish all the food in the ceramic bowl. You can also get a bowl of rice soup. After eating and drinking, put the ceramic bowl back where the meal is, and then find a place to sleep for a while.
After noon when the sun is at its hottest, the manager will ring a gong to wake them up and then go back to work in the afternoon.
Wang Dali was very satisfied with such a life. The only thing he felt sorry about was that his son was fifteen years old, but because he was too thin, the stewards confiscated him.
He was the only one working in his family, and the food he earned was just enough to keep the family from starving. If his son could also work, the family would have enough to eat.
There are many cases like Wang Li's family, so everyone is very alert to opportunities to work.
After lunch, some smart people went to talk to the managers.
"Manager Hao, what else can we do after this house is built?"
